“He has everything to succeed and he’s chosen Milan to prove what he’s capable of.”

Mendes also said that working with Cristiano Ronaldo in the Portugal national team will only help Silva as he continues to grow.

“Now he plays for his national team with the best player in the history of football, CR7, but what matters is that Andre wants to learn every trick and everything else from Ronaldo,” the super-agent continued.

“Having an example and role model like Cristiano, it can only do him good.

“Ronaldo’s very happy for Andre. He told [Andre] he would play for one of the best clubs in the world and, in general, history.”
